Online Backup - Multiple PC backup? How?

Thread needs solution

How do you backup multiple PCs (up to 5) since you cannot see mapped PCS/drives in Home 2011?

Can't find this topic anywhere in the docs.

Chester,

When you run the Online Backup client software, you are prompted to create a computer nickname (e.g. Dad's Laptop). If you run the client sw on another PC and choose a different computer nickname, you'll be in "multiple PC mode" (my name for it) and can choose the PC to backup/restore.

I hope that helps!

Is it also possible to delete the link to a computer ?

Let's assume that you have linked 5 PC's with Online Backup, and you want to remove the first one to add another PC, is that possible?

Hi Stef. Yes, you can REMOVE a computer. Be warned though that all of the data you backed up online for the removed computer will be deleted. You should get a warning message that effect when you initiate the REMOVE.

Hope this helps. Have a great day.

Regards,
